167 Prefect
correct
"Husband, this is all Yang Duanwu and they are not good, not to mention those mulberry fields, which have nothing to do with our Ni family. Yang Duanwu is so capable, but after getting married, not half an acre of mulberry fields has been left to her mother's family, I said that in her heart, she is still her mother's family at all. It's a pity that the good nephew of Chongyang is so fascinated by her. If we help Gongzi Xie, there is nothing to be sorry for Yang Duanwu, and we will treat it as if she owes us. He Lijun was verbose, "If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be able to crow well." Now it's idle at home, which makes people see jokes. ”
Xie Qingning looked at Ni Lizheng.
Ni Lizheng's eyebrows were tightly locked, he could almost put an egg, he had never harmed anyone in the past, but now he wanted to harm his eldest nephew, of course, he could find an excuse, saying that it was just Yang Duanwu who killed his son first, and he also reported it back, but he was Lizheng.
In the hearts of the villagers, he has always been upright and upright, but is he even harming his nephew?
But when he thought that he had only one son, Rooster Song, he compromised.
"I'm afraid it's still difficult, Mrs. Xie in the village has a good relationship with the Dragon Boat Festival, but I'm afraid that she won't be willing to cooperate with us." Ni Lizheng sighed, and he didn't even have the confidence to speak.
He really hoped that Xie Qingning was not capable of solving Mrs. Xie's affairs, so he wouldn't have to do bad things.
"It's easy. I can make Mrs. Xie's family disappear. That way you'll be able to do things better. Xie Qingning said, her eyes emitting a gloomy light.
Big Grave Foot Village.
The candlelight in Ni Lizheng's house was still on all night, Ni Lizheng's family had already slept, the room was very quiet, he sat and smoked two cigarettes, and then made green tea and drank it, but he was not sleepy at all.
The village knocked on the watchman to sue him, and it was already the third watch.
He Lijun yawned, walked out of the inner room, looked at the tea residue in the cup, took it to rinse, and wiped the table with a rag by the way.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" He Lijun said dissatisfiedly, "It's natural to help your son, why can't you figure it out." ”
"Shut up." Ni Li was throwing down his pipe, his eyebrows raised into an inverted figure, and said, "I've lived for so long, and today is the first time I'm sorry for someone, and that person is still my nephew." How can I not be upset, you say? ”
He Lijun saw that Ni Li was having a seizure, so she had to retreat to the room.
The grandson suddenly began to cry, and the crying was especially loud in the middle of the night.
Son Ni Jiming and daughter-in-law got up to take care of their son, He Lijun also rushed in a nightgown, and saw that her grandson fell asleep smoothly again, so she went back.
The room was quiet again.
This heartwarming episode just now is only available to one family, Ni Lizheng sighed and said to himself: "You are my family." Yang Duanwu is not, and Ni Chongyang is not now. ”
Finally, he found sufficient reasons for his uneasy heart, and began to use the power in his hands with peace of mind, doing bad things, and seeking his own benefit.
Perhaps, the corrupt official in the world was the earliest and the earliest, and he was once a good official, if he didn't have a wife who fanned the flames, or if it wasn't for his family, I am afraid that there would be many fewer corrupt officials in the world.
The winter sun in Jinling City is very warm, shining on the earth, red men and green women are walking in the market, Yang Duanwu finished washing, opened the window to see the scenery downstairs.
The windows were lifted and had partitions, and she took a wooden pestle to nail the windows.
Ni Chongyang went downstairs to serve food.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, when she saw that there was a tofu brain seller downstairs, her mouth was greedy, and she liked to eat tofu brain very much.
Ni Chongyang came in, "The downstairs is full again, and we are still more comfortable eating in the room." ”
Dragon Boat Festival said: "Jinling is really a place where people forget their worries and luxury, even if it is a heart of revenge, it will be diluted by the erosive wind here." It is no wonder that in history, all the imperial courts that set the capital of Jinling were not long-lasting. ”
"But the Dragon Boat Festival will not, because the Dragon Boat Festival is worried about General Yang's safety." Ni Chongyang knows the Dragon Boat Festival very well.
Dragon Boat nodded, "You're right, my father hasn't been found for a day, and I can't relax for a day." ”
"No, here's for you." Ni Chongyang suddenly took out a bowl of tofu brain from behind him.
"Did you go downstairs and buy it?" Yang Duanwu was pleasantly surprised.
Ni Chongyang nodded: "I've been with you for so long, you love tofu brain, of course I already knew." ”
Yang Duanwu ate warm tofu brain, and her heart was very moved, Ni Chongyang's love, a long stream, nourished her heart.
After eating, the two of them made some silver, put on their hats to cover their eyes, and walked towards the prefect's mansion.
The prefect has a very special surname, the surname Ming.
The Da Ming Dynasty almost did not have the surname Ming, but the prefect was surnamed Ming, and he was still a distant relative of Taifu Xie.
Few people can inquire about the location of the prefect's connections.
Because this surname is really unpleasant, many people directly call him the prefect, not the underworld.
Hades, located in the northeast of the county seat, is said to be a local feng shui treasure. At the entrance of the courtyard, there is also a tall pine tree, and when you look at it from a distance, you can feel that this place is not ordinary.
The two handed the doorman a letter, and the doorman was sharp-eyed, and recognized Ni Chongyang as the doctor invited by the prefect many times, and immediately let them in.
However, people understand the rules, but they can't break the rules, so the Dragon Boat Festival took out a few broken silver nudes and handed them to the doorman.
The doorman naturally took it and slipped into his sleeve.
When you enter Hades, you can see a vestibule with many bonsai on the stone path from the gate to the vestibule. All kinds of flowers, all kinds of landscape pines.
The doorman led them to the outer courtyard, and then a man dressed as a servant came out to greet them, and the doorman whispered a few words to the servant, and then went away.
And the servant continued to lead the two men forward.
The Dragon Boat Festival looked at the underworld.
This vestibule is usually a place for visitors to rest temporarily, and visitors can only enter the backyard if the prefect allows them, otherwise they will be invited out.
"The prefect is in the study, please wait, I'll go and inform the lord immediately." Then the slave maid served tea and withdrew, and the slave who led the way just now was gone.
The servant maid serving tea was a servant woman in her forties, presumably entertaining guests in the outer courtyard.
Hades seems to be very large, and the slaves and maids in the outer court are different from those in the inner court.
The slaves and maids in this inner court must be very young, and they are dedicated to entertaining their masters and their masters' families.
This is more popular than the Xie family in Qinghe County.
Although the Xie family in Qinghe County also has an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard, the girls in the inner courtyard can walk around the outer courtyard, and even go out to buy things for the young master.
This is absolutely not possible in the prefect's place.
The stricter the etiquette, the more noble his family is.
After the line of sight bypasses the screen in the front hall, what catches your eye is a small garden, the scenery is much more beautiful than that of the front hall, in the middle of the garden, there is a small stone table, you can smell the fragrance and admire the moon at night, so pleasant.
But the sight of the Dragon Boat Festival can only go here. Every qiē of the master in the inner courtyard was blocked and wrapped like chocolate wrapped in candy wrapper.
The prefect was reading a book in the study, and the little servant came up and handed him a letter, "My lord, Doctor Ni has come to see you." ”
"Oh, he's really here?" The prefect put down the book and looked very happy.
Ni Chongyang's high personality and Wen Taowu's strategy were deeply appreciated by him, coupled with his outstanding medical skills, which simply made the prefect eager for Ni Chongyang.
Now that I have read the letter, I know that he still got the recommendation of Master Lin, and I feel even more like a confidant.
"If it is the staff of the lord, you can add a person like Ni Chongyang, then one will be ten, and the lord's great cause can be completed." The prefect was very happy, "Hurry up, please." ”
As soon as the little guy went down, the prefect was still not at ease, so he personally went to tell the housekeeper that he was going to take out the new Tieguanyin for the guests to drink, and he must not drink ordinary tea.
The two of them passed through the garden and entered the main hall.
In the middle of the lintel of the main hall, there are four big characters hanging with the people, which also shows the unique feelings of the prefect of the underworld.
In the middle of the main hall, there is a square table of rosewood, and a portrait of the prefect hangs on the wall. Those who can come here are either red people in the eyes of the prefect, or powerful ministers.
Behind the main hall, there are various wings. On weekdays, the prefect's family goes in and out, but it's nothing special.
The two were eventually ushered into an elegant wing.
The tea water came, and the Dragon Boat Festival knew the tea, and smelled a special fragrance.
Curious to taste a bite, the sweet spring is sweet and sweet, the Dragon Boat Festival knows that it must be taken from the snow on the winter plum, stored in an earthen pot, buried under the plum tree soil to cover, at least two years to get the fragrance.
The prefect actually entertained them with such a good tea, and it seems that the prefect will definitely not be an enemy.
The Dragon Boat Festival is slightly relieved.
Sure enough, what walked in was a tall middle-aged man wearing a green official uniform and a soap-colored belt, with a slightly chubby face, a strong body, and eyes under the sword eyebrows, revealing a fine light, but there was no murderous aura, and his face was still kind.
Ni Chongyang saluted, and the prefect stepped forward to personally help Ni Chongyang, held his hand tightly and did not let go, and murmured: "Doctor Ni, I have been looking forward to you for a long time." ”
Ni Chongyang lowered his head: "Don't dare." ”
"This is your wife?" The prefect also bowed his hand to Yang Duanwu politely.
Yang Duanwu also returned the salute: "I have seen the prefect." ”
"Sit down."
Then everyone sat down and chatted about family life.
This is the habit of Jinling people, before talking about business, they are all talking about family life, and the atmosphere is lively.
"I wonder where you two live now?" The prefect asked.
Ni Chongyang and Yang Duanwu glanced at each other, but they didn't tell the truth after all, "It's just a small inn." ”
"Since it's a small inn, why don't you move to my house? At the very least, the service is more thorough. ”
"But this time, we came here with a request, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." Ni Chongyang was very moved.
"I read the letter, I have heard about the Lin family and the Xie family, since even Master Lin wants me to take good care of you, I can't help but give him a face. It's better to be like this, if you want to keep a low profile, then I won't send someone to pick you up, you come here by yourself tomorrow, and I will arrange a room for you today. "The prefect insisted on doing so.
Yang Duanwu thought about it, although the prefect was very enthusiastic, he was still not familiar with it, and it was inconvenient to live in the mansion to inquire about her father, so he smiled and said: "We understand the kindness of the prefect, but we will leave soon, and it is really inappropriate to come over to talk about the adult." ”
The prefect's eyes darkened, "In that case, I won't force it." But you say you have something to ask me, why don't you tell me and hear it? As long as it is obtained by the government, the official will do his best to help. ”
Ni Chongyang glanced at the slave maid, and the prefect asked his subordinates to withdraw.
"We hope to be protected by the prefect, and the Xie family wants to kill us." Ni Chongyang then said.
Yang Duanwu added what the Xie family had done to them in Qinghe County.
When the prefect heard this, he frowned and said hatefully; "The Xie family is too hateful, don't worry, what shelter do you need, just bring it up, the Xie family and I haven't moved around in the past few years, and it is estimated that we won't need to move around again in the future." ”
"If so, thank you very much, Lord Prefect. I just want the prefect to send someone to investigate the evil things done by the Xie family and seek justice for the small family. Ni Chongyang said.
Unexpectedly, the prefect agreed happily: "Of course you can, Qinghe County is also under my jurisdiction, how can I allow the Xie family and gentry to do anything wrong." Don't worry, tomorrow I will send someone to order the local county magistrate, so that he must investigate well. ”
Ni Chongyang said: "The county magistrate of Qinghe County is only afraid of the Xie family, and he is also protected by officials. ”
But Yang Duanwu said: "Thank you so much, Lord Prefect." ”
Ni Chongyang glanced at Yang Duanwu and saw that her face was very determined, so he was silent.
The three of them chatted about some family life again, and then the prefect sent someone to send Ni Chongyang and Yang Duanwu out, and when he left, the prefect also gave his token to Ni Chongyang, "Ni Gongzi, this token can ensure that you will not be harassed and oppressed by half of the people in Jinling City, and this is also the shelter I promised you." ”
Ni Chongyang was stunned: "How does this work?" The token is exercised by the prefect, how can I be, how can I-"
"You take it. The official believes in you, and the official will never look at the wrong person. If you have been with this official for a long time, you will naturally know what this official is like. The prefect said.
Ni Chongyang and Yang Duanwu left.
At this time, the winter sun slowly showed its face, and a layer of mist shrouded Qinghe County, making the sun not so dazzling.
The early risers have already opened their doors, and the heat coming out of the stove is even warmer in winter. Porridge flatbread is the favorite breakfast of Qinghe County people, or eaten at home or outside.
At the end of the day, the quiet county town began to be noisy again, because it is a small county town, the neighbors are also familiar with each other, and in the early morning of weekdays, you can often hear familiar greetings in your ears.
After breakfast, people start to work hard for the day, most of them are in similar conditions, although it is hard, but there is always a smile on their faces.
And the most eye-catching thing is the sound of reading in the private school. (To be continued.) )
